How does the screen quality compare to other phones in the same class?

The Moto G72 boasts one of the best displays in its price range – a 120Hz pOLED panel that offers deep blacks and vibrant colours typically found in more expensive models.

Does the phone have a headphone jack?

Yes, the device features a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing you to use wired headphones without an adapter.

Can the storage be expanded with a memory card?

How long does the battery last with normal use?

Thanks to its 5000 mAh battery and efficient Helio G99 processor, the battery easily lasts 1.5 to 2 days with average usage.

Is the phone waterproof?

The Moto G72 has an IP52 rating, meaning it is splash-resistant (e.g., from light rain), but it should not be submerged in water.

Comparisons With Other Models

How this model differs from the competition.

UpgradevsMotorola Moto G73 5G

The Moto G73 brings 5G support and a faster processor, but loses the G72's excellent pOLED display, replacing it with a standard LCD. If screen quality is a priority, the G72 is the better choice.
